I have a space station

“You…” Zongzhen Yue wanted to retort, but then thought better of it. It was more important to discuss serious matters now.

“Hmph~”

Seeing that Zongzhen Yue didn't speak, Suo Tonghua snorted triumphantly.

“This kind of animal is really too small, difficult to catch and difficult to kill. Moreover, with a large number, its attack power cannot be underestimated. It's indeed tricky,” Wu Shengrong of the Land Administration Department shook his head, unable to come up with a suitable solution after thinking for a long time.

“How about using poison?” Yao Wenkang of the Agriculture Department suggested.

In agriculture, insecticides are often used to eliminate pests, but he wasn't sure if it would be effective here.

“I think it might work. We can use cyanide to prepare biochemical bombs and spray agents. As long as they are released into the pika population, the effect will definitely be immediate,” Shang Yangping of the Civil Affairs Department said.

“I don't think it will necessarily work. Whether it's made into bombs or sprayed as agents, they will at most adhere to their bodies, and will be useless unless ingested,” Lu Yuanhang of the Water Administration Department said.

“It will definitely be useful, but the result may not be very optimistic, and it won't be immediate. The poison attached to the pikas may inadvertently spread into their mouths, but it's not absolute; there's a probability issue. Also, poisoning requires a certain process. But on the battlefield, that process is precisely what's lacking. Councilor Shentu just said that the Bayan Sumu resettlement camp was captured in just over ten minutes. I ask you, in a dozen minutes, can all these pikas be poisoned to death?” Pang Lejia of the Justice Department said.

Everyone nodded and then shook their heads.

They were also thinking. They nodded because they felt Pang Lejia made sense, and they shook their heads because they thought this method was indeed not feasible.

“In fact, the best way to deal with this kind of animal is to use flamethrowers. They have a large kill area and are more efficient. However, this kind of equipment cannot be mass-produced, and fuel bottles cannot be supplied in time. If we can't fight continuously, once the animals are not completely wiped out and counterattack, the situation will be very passive,” Yan Zhengping said.

The Southwest Military Region used flamethrowers every time they encountered bat zombies. But later, they stopped using them. First, they couldn't afford it; fuel bottles were limited. Second, it wasn't necessary; with the underground works, the soldiers could temporarily hide.

“Flamethrowers are indeed not feasible. If thousands of soldiers use flamethrowers at the same time, the consumption of one battle would be enormous. By then, we won't have hurt the enemy, but we will have hurt ourselves first,” Liu Feiying of the Military Administration Department said.

“Actually, there is another way,” Yan Zhengping thought for a moment and said.

The councilors looked over curiously.

“Previously, I saw a combat robot at the Huatong Chamber of Commerce. Its appearance is a bit like a spider, about thirty centimeters in size. Their combat methods are somewhat similar to those of pikas, both controlled by a group. Thousands of such robots work together to complete combat missions. If you don't quite understand, you can imagine it as a large bee colony with good organization,” Yan Zhengping said.

This combat robot was actually used by Dongfang Chen when training students. Later, during the celebration of the establishment of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce headquarters, Yan Zhengping and Zongzhen Yue had even gone to see it in person.

However, in order to prevent others from knowing that he and the mysterious man had a closer relationship, he could only attribute the idea to the Huatong Chamber of Commerce.

Dongfang Chen's purpose in letting them watch was to hope to enhance the influence of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce through their relationship. Yan Zhengping thought that Dongfang Chen wouldn't mind him saying this today.

Also, if Dongfang Chen didn't want to sell this simulation spider robot, why would he let them see it?

Yan Zhengping always believed that Dongfang Chen was only interested in things that benefited him.

“Why is it the Huatong Chamber of Commerce again?” He Jinghui of the Security Department said.

Perhaps due to the nature of his profession, he had always been wary of the sudden rise of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, and the big hand behind the Huatong Chamber of Commerce.

Unfortunately for him, he had never found any evidence of wrongdoing.

“What's wrong, Councilor He? You seem to be very resistant to the Huatong Chamber of Commerce,” Yan Zhengping asked him.

“The topic of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce is unavoidable in every agenda of our council. Don't you think this is very abnormal?” He Jinghui questioned.

“I don't think so. Isn't it just that everyone doesn't have any good ideas? I brought it up for everyone to discuss. What's the problem with that?” Yan Zhengping spread his hands and said.

“It is rumored that Councilor Yan has a deep relationship with the Huatong Chamber of Commerce. Could it be that the Huatong Chamber of Commerce is Councilor Yan's industry?” He Jinghui asked, with a hint of probing in his voice.

“Haha. Since when did Councilor He start using rumors as the basis for judgment? If you think that the scientific research strength of our Southwest Military Region is stronger than that of your Security Department, then I might barely believe that this rumor has a little credibility,” Yan Zhengping said with a hint of sarcasm.

The logic was simple. If the Huatong Chamber of Commerce was established by Yan Zhengping, then its scientific research strength would definitely not exceed the level of the Southwest Military Region. And the Security Department, as the intelligence hub, was definitely stronger than the military region in terms of technological strength.
